PhilaPhans

They don't even make the playoffs as the #3 wild card without the 172 innings and 15 wins they got from Walker last year.

Bailey Falter vs. Cris Sanchez

Falter's disaster as the #5 starter last year opened the door for Sanchez to become one of the league's biggest surprises.

The starting pitching has been soooooooooooooooo good.

And now a 10-game homestand: -- 4 vs. the Pirates, who have been second-best team in NL so far -- 3 vs. Rockies, who are awful -- 3 vs. White Sox, who are awful Need Phillies to show us some spark and go 7-3 on this homestand. And if the starting pitching keeps up, they could potentially do even bet...

And Merrifield is a dud so far.
